I seriously doubt that is really Microsoft's response to June NPD, unless they're trolling us on purpose.

Well yeah it is a joke.

It's not their official response, but it is a response from the marketing team.

 

[Sangetsu-II]

Makes me wonder if Xbox sold less this month year over year. That can't be the NPD response then can it?

June 2014 was the first price drop XB1 had right?

 

[jmaine_ph]

But I like Halo.

There's only so much marketing you can cram into 140 characters. ;D

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Maybe it's a parody twitter account. I just can't tell.

@KazHiraiCEO is taking notes right now.

That was when they dropped the Kinect.

 

[slavesnyder]

Do you mean Aaron's tweet is not an NPD response or that his tweet was not intended to be an NPD response? For MS's sake, I hope it's the latter....

In that case it was a coincidence that he had to share this remarkable fact today.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

holy shit.. that tweet is probably the best thing I have ever read.

your post says yes but your avatar says no.

Yup. Kinect got axed.

It's likely Xbox One is under 200k this month.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I remember back when NPD day would 404 error all of GAF. Now no one cares as much. NPD's lack of disclosure has killed sales age and its depressing

It'll pick up again when the holidays come around. It always does.

 

[1st Course]

Both consoles saw very strong yoy growth apparently.

Look few pages back.

 

[Jigorath]

I tripped over my ethernet cable and pulled it out of the socket and my internet disconnected for a couple of minutes.

Does that count?

Thank god they have won E3 with BC, Hololens Minecraft and the haloest halo. Otherwise...

Well, that's something I guess..

 

[GribbleGrunger]

It's likely Xbox One is under 200k this month.

And the PS4 is approaching 400k

 

[CosmicQueso]

It's likely Xbox One is under 200k this month.

Joke post?

How did I not notice that!

hehe

Xbox One 297k

 

[Kayant]

Never change please Aaron Greenberg. Wouldn't be surprised if that's very close to their actual NPD response if this isn't.

Also

If twitter is correct, then Batman was exclusive to Xbox One, so it'll be 100% in their favour.

Spoiler

No idea if this is real lol.

Oh...

Loool that's one way to step up from the destiny Fragrance ad.

No one cares because we all know who's gonna win every month

Nvm

 

[donny2112]

Weren't the results supposed to be posted by now? What am I missing?

Subscribers (those who pay) got their results at 5 p.m. EDT. The rest of us have to wait until closer to 6:30 p.m. EDT to get the usual Top 10 ranking and company PRs on the month.

 

[CosmicQueso]

What's with the recent hike for Bloodborne sales over on Amazon?

Was a prime day deal

 

[ZhugeEX]

Xbox One 297k

~298k

Greenberg always delivers!

 

[1st Course]

My predictions are fucked this month

I underestimated Batman big time

 

[Sangetsu-II]

Here it is

http://venturebeat.com/2015/07/16/june-2015-npd-ps4-beats-xbox/

Batman did better on PS4 even with two bundles, wow.

 

[Grimgrillz]

Greenberg always gives away more than he intends to.

 

[Stacey]

Holy shit

 

[Mr Moose]

Batman: Arkham Knight (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
Interesting, even excluding the bundles PS4 sold more copies? That wasn't true with Destiny, was it?

 

[The Mad Draklor]

I did not expect the PS4 SKU of Arkham Asylum to do better than the XBO SKU...

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Batman: Arkham Knight (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
Interesting, even excluding the bundles PS4 sold more copies? That wasn't true with Destiny, was it?

Nope.

My picks am cry.

At least I picked the correct console winning June.

 

[Firelord Chargrilled]

wow

Looks like free game promotion for Xbone didn't do shit. I mean, probably good sales for Xbone, but not enough to beat PS4.

“Xbox One and Xbox Live continue to see strong growth in sales and engagement. Xbox One sales in the U.S. were up 51 percent over June 2014 and active global Xbox Live users (Xbox One and Xbox 360) grew 22 percent.”

Someone do the math.

 

[Broman1978]

Microsoft provided a statement of its own:
